Dispositif, Biopolitical Governance, and Significance of Genealogical Approach in Navigating Refugees’ Experiences of Camp and Community
Get PDFFoucault’s distinction between biopolitics and biopower is significant to society, a normative body in terms of seeing biopower as the practical production of the visible and invisible poles of the dispositif through interdependent discursive and institutional practices of administration. This paper fundamentally discusses two theoretical ideas ingrained with the notion of Foucauldian biopolitics---dispositif and genealogy that Foucault brought into account for merging them into modern biopolitical administrative forces. First, it discusses the idea of dispositif as a mechanism of governance and critically examines its connection to biopower and biopolitics. Second, it analyzes the notion of genealogy as a tool to navigate the politics of forced migration and refugees’ local memories, discursive construction, and fragmentation of previously-coherent ideas and practices and the cohering of formerly disparate ones through a lens that does not privilege the present as the destination of the past

An IPDA Debate
No full textThe Marshall University Speech and Debate team presenters are thrilled to demonstrate one form of debate, IPDA. IPDA is the abbreviation for International Public Debate Association.
The IPDA philosophy was formed with the intention of using logical, evidence-based arguments. Therefore, IPDA uses shorter speaking times, no specific plans in the text of the discussion, and is judged by lay judges or people with little to no experience. The debate will be between two competitors whohave had thirty minutes to prep their cases directly before this exhibit
The Community of Huntington: Converging Through Disaster
No full textHistorians view the flood of the Ohio River in 1937 as a national disaster. Though this is a true statement, the devastation from this flood was felt on a local level. In Huntington alone, 25,000 people were left without homes and the flood damage reached into the tens of millions of dollars.The flood met national attention with many newspapers across the country publishing reports and updates about the disaster, and this allowed for the communities that were affected the most to reach out for federal support. The New Deal created a new program called the WPA, or the Works Progress Association, which was employed during this time. The Red Cross was also heavily involved in the flood relief as well, providing everything from shelter to vaccinations.
I believe that in historical accounts of the flood there is a stronger emphasis on the efforts of the Red Cross and the WPA, and though getting through the disaster would have been nearly impossible without their help, there is also a strong message that the community was the true driving force of survival. After the flood of 1937 and the major loss of life and expense, the community with the help of the WPA began to rebuild and petition for further flooding precautions with the federal government
Causes of burnout and job dissatisfaction among marketing and communications Intercollegiate Athletics employees
Get PDFThe purpose of this study was to better understand the role burnout plays in turnover intention and job dissatisfaction among marketing and communications employees in intercollegiate athletics. A secondary aim was to identify to what extent were job requirements, compensation, and expectations of administrators and coaches driving burnout in these employees. Study participants came from those currently working in marketing and/or communications at various levels of intercollegiate competition. The study used the Oldenberg Burnout Inventory, as well as specific questions related to the profession to uncover major causes of burnout in this particular occupation. Findings from this study supported the majority of the literature reviewed for this research and uncovered several key findings. The research showed that: (a) higher burnout scores lead to turnover intention, (b) the number of hours of work required is the main reason to leave the industry, (c) younger workers are struggling with the demands of the profession, and (d) the expectations of coaches are more detrimental than those of administrators. The findings suggested several areas of future research, including: (a) time of the academic year in which burnout is highest, (b) individuals who have already left the profession, (c) statistical differences between males and females, (d) the relationship between age and burnout, and (e) the level of disengagement at the various levels of competition
